Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar, was so engrossed with his cricket that he completely forgot to greet his wife on her birthday.
However, his lapse which was a crime in so much as forgetting his wife altogether in that respect that was a huge personal obligation did not create an issue with his wife Jaya forgiving Chahar.
What might have been taken amiss by another in her shoes in such a circumstance did not ruffle Chahar’s wife who showed great understanding that her husband had been taxed to the hilt fielding over 90 overs representing Mumbsi Indians in the Indian Premier League. Chahar swiftly made amends sharing a hilarious post on social media, admitting that he forgot to wish his wife Jaya on her birthday.
He, was thankful to his wife as she decided to forgive him. Chahar’s Instagram post about the entire episode, however, has seen fans giving Jaya the title of ‘Devi’ (a goddess).
“Happy birthday love @jayab05 . I would like to tell everybody that how understanding and loving my wife is as I forgot her birthday but still she forgave me as she understood this can happen after 90 overs of fielding.
“Next time I will remember @jayab05 #happybirthda #wife,” he posted on Instagram.
Chahar later shared another post on social media in which the couple finally managed to cut Jaya’s birthday cake.
Deepak Chahar last featured for India in an international match in a T20I against Australia in 2023. The new-ball pacer has had many injury issues to deal with over the last 4-5 years, hence making it easier for other pacers to replace him in the team.
In the Indian Premier League, Chahar joined the Mumbai Indians during the mega auction last year for a fee of INR 9.25 crore. Mumbai engaged in a big bidding war with the Chennai Super Kings, Chahar’s former franchise, to avail his services.
The pacer was even spotted with the Indian team in England during a 5-match Test tour. Despite his exceptional ability to swing the new ball, Chahar is yet to make his Test debut. In fact, at present, he isn’t even in the scheme of things in any international side of the Indian team.
